Kruger National Park in about 12 minutes

So a few of us went to Kruger National Park on Sunday for a Safari. We saw elephants, a journey of six giraffe, wart hogs, buffalo, several white rhino, a rare and endangered black rhino, a wide variety of antelope (including impala, Klip Springer, Kudu), crocodile, a monitor lizard and an even wider variety of birds including the Marshal Eagle and a giant heron. We had a wonderful guide, Margeaux, who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

It was amazing.

I can see why people make such a big deal about going to Kruger. The whole experience of game watching has similar appeal to slot machines. You look and you look and you look while you drive and you drive and drive...and suddenly...ELEPHANT!!! Or RHINO!!!!! So you have your basic configuration of long stretches of relative calm punctuated by instants of intense excitement. So fun!

Here are some photos and a video I put together from the day.
